Block named ‘Best-Performing Company in IT Managed Services’ at Megabuyte50 Awards
We’re incredibly proud to share Block has been named the ‘Best-Performing Company in the IT Managed Service’ category at the 2025 Megabuyte50 Awards, which recognises the UK’s best-performing mid-market technology companies.
This award is a powerful validation of our journey over the past few years. Megabuyte’s rigorous Scorecard methodology considers organic growth, EBITDA margins, cash conversion, and revenue CAGR. Being recognised as the standout performer in our peer group is a testament to our strategy, our people, and the bold moves we’ve made to evolve.
It also marks a key moment in our transformation, having moved beyond our roots as a solution provider, we’ve been re-categorised as an IT Managed Services provider, and are now proud to be leading the field in this space.
Purpose-driven transformation, accelerated by innovation
Following the pandemic, we made a conscious shift to build long-term financial stability, while delivering even greater service quality and value for our clients. That pivot laid the foundation for the organisation we are today.
We’ve doubled down on our purpose to inspire change, empower people, and connect worlds. This purpose has driven us to reimagine what managed services can deliver in complex, mission-critical environments. At the heart of this transformation is a mindset rooted in innovation and continuous improvement. We’ve made a deliberate shift toward adopting modern toolsets, automation, and AI – not for technology’s sake, but to reduce risk and deliver game-changing outcomes.
Deep sector expertise, scaled for new markets
Our roots are in healthcare and our deep expertise in NHS digital infrastructure remains a core strength. But this award recognises more than just sector experience. It highlights how we’ve transformed that expertise into scalable, high-impact managed services, with proprietary technologies like Axiom helping clients achieve exceptional uptime, user experiences, and operational insight.
Now, we’re bringing that same capability to higher education, a sector facing similar challenges. Universities need robust, secure, and intelligent infrastructure to manage complex estates with high user volumes, and a growing reliance on digital delivery.
Elevating service: powered by AI and automation
We’ve reimagined what managed services can and should be. Our Human+ approach combines the power of automation and AI with the empathy, insight, and experience of our people. It’s enabling us to go beyond reactive support and become proactive partners, predicting issues before they arise, enhancing uptime, and delivering services that scale with our clients’ ambitions.
Our ‘Power of 3’ strategy has given us clarity and momentum. We’ve focused our energy on what we do best: Networks, Collaboration, and Smart Buildings. And we’ve done it while expanding into new markets, strengthening recurring revenue, and maintaining a high-performance, purpose-driven culture.
Focus, growth, and momentum
Financially, we’ve also delivered. Our 2024 performance shows the strength of our business model and the impact of shifting toward recurring, value-driven engagements. But more importantly, we’ve done this without losing sight of who we are. What truly sets Block apart is our ability to combine operational excellence with innovation, not just keeping pace with change, but helping shape it.
To our team, clients, and partners: thank you. This award is a reflection of your belief in what we’re building. We’ll continue to lead with purpose, think differently, and deliver the next generation of digital services – smarter, faster, and more human than ever before.
